Lol I hope to join the Air Force after high school and my dad was in the Air Force and went through BMT in 2000

[@torrie934]

I really appreciate you talking about boot camp!! That’s literally my biggest fear bc it’s the unknown. Knowing all this information is great since I’ve been working out and stuff. Now I know what I need to condition for 😊

[@AirmanNick]

Torrie ! Thanks for the awesome comment! Don’t be scared for boot camp you got this, everybody passes as long as they don’t give up and continues to push themselves! Thanks for subscribing!

You will be pushing them out like nothing after bmt!

I joined the air force when Reagan was President !! I only did 4 years... For anyone who is joining or has joined, it will be one of the BEST decisions you’ll ever make !! Best of luck to all.

My recruiter says I probably won't head over til next summer. Right now i could do 45 push ups 50 sit ups and a 1.5 in 11:30, So with about 7 months of preparing this should be fun. Im excited! Im going to try and get warhawk

[@AirmanNick]

Awesome, you more than likely will!

Good content, talking to a recruiter sometime this month!

Thanks for this. I leave in about 5 days from now.

[@ashleymoore2293]

Working on my sit ups and my push ups are at 20 so far ! How is the training in tech school.

[@AirmanNick]

PT wise it’s not hard at all lol, we do PT 2 times a week and it’s for like 30-45 mins super easy but early in the morning before class.

[@ashleymoore2293]

Airman Nick thank you so much my friend! This helps me have confidence even more so

[@williammora2003]

Totally different than when I went in in 1993. This is much better! Best of luck to everyone. 😊🤙🐊

Shipping out Dec. 14, thanks for the information!

[@Daddyvader7]

I’m in quarantine right now at the hotel. Before I went in I tested myself. 70 push ups in a minute. 60 push ups in a minute. Mile and a half in 10:00 mins Working to get it down to 9:00 mins for a mile and a half. 80 push ups for a minute. 90 sit ups for a minute and body comp at a 33 or under.

[@AirmanNick]

Damn , good stuff!

[@ashleymoore2293]

I’m 34 too so I’ve been trying to run 2 days a week! I can do 1.5 in 15 minutes and I can do 2.5 miles in 17-18

[@Daddyvader7]

That’s fantastic I’m 24 and was only capable of doing 14 mins for a mile and a half. I’m in quarantine at bootcamp right now. I’m capable of doing 10:00 mins mile and a half and for people our age it is possible to push ourselves and reach no limits much faster then people in their 40s and 50s so taking advantage of that and pushing yourself each day will help you out a lot.

[@raidenmilette6431]

So you run a whole ass mile in 2 to 3 minutes after you run a mile an a half, doesn’t make any sense

[@jacobkunkel3506]

[@dominusfons4455]

MTI: why did you signed up to the airforce!? Me: Sir/Ma'am, this recruit heard it was supposed to be chair force!

[@skylasilva5586]

For push up form, do they care about how our hand or elbow placement is as long as you hit 90 degrees? I struggle doing them with my elbows out, versus keeping them tucked close to my body.

[@AirmanNick]

You will probably be fine as long as you go down far enough!

[@ANT-150]

I read on the internet that when you first get there, the initial PT isn’t bad at all, is it true that they want to see you do the mile and a half in 18 minutes when you first get there for a male then cut it down to 13:36?

[@mataj0to561]

I did a 14:52 mile and a half 2 days before leaving to marine corps training depot a week into processing I lost around 10 pounds due to stress and that paired with adrenaline I got it down to 13:21 5 weeks into actual training I got it down to 10:12 so yeah those few weeks can make miracles happen

[@briyonnaj]

I ship out on the 21st , is there pescatarian meal options or no? I’m scared about the running part and waking up at 5 everyday!

[@AirmanNick]

They have vegetarian / vegan options at the dfac, it’s not the best but its something.

[@SFarlough]

So 5am every morning is the time to wake up

[@SFarlough]

What time are lights out?

[@ajustmefr6925]

Thank you for the video I was a little worried because I can run 2miles for 14minutes but I kinda have to stop for like 5 minutes and walk. Do you fail if you stop during a pt run?

[@CJGamers10]

What the difference with BMT now that theres covid? I'm leaving for BMT on Sep 15!

[@AirmanNick]

CJGamers10 social distancing, mask on at all times, no gas chamber probably and maybe a 2 week quarantine still

[@AirmanNick]

Dawson Fischer Legit everything else, Air Force is a lot of book work and learning we go to class for a couple hours, also learn a bunch in the dorms from Our MTI, then we will do weapon drills and learn to take apart guns and much more it all depends what’s on the schedule for the day which changes daily.

[@skiddlydoo222]

I am really worried about my run time and push ups. Would you mind letting me know how many times they had you do the 1min sprint before doing the 26min run? That way I can start putting together a running plan. I would really appreciate it. I'm starting to train this week. I leave in January.

[@AirmanNick]

I wouldent worry about sprinting at all, focus on distance for now and I would say don’t worry about the time just yet. Run like 2/3 miles a couple times a week before joining and you will be fine.

[@zanewilliams7357]

Does someone still hold your feet during sit ups or no?

[@AirmanNick]

For us it wasn’t allowed, not sure if it has changed yet but don’t expect it to of changed yet. They had us put our feet under a bar instead of letting someone hold them.

[@carsuuun5237]

Hey man. On the Monday before you ship out, what do you do at meps? That Tuesday you ship out, what goes on at meps and the rest of the day?

[@AirmanNick]

Hey, I believe you are talking about ship day. I have an entire video on the channel discussing it! Go check it out!

[@carsuuun5237]

@@AirmanNick just watched the video. So on that Tuesday when they check your weight and etc, do they do blood, vision and drug test that Tuesday? Or do they do that the Monday before shipping?

Will your body transform after bmt do u build good muscle?

[@AirmanNick]

Jamal Jenkins honestly depends on the shape you are in right now, if u barley work out then yes most people gained atleast 10 pounds from eating 3 meals a day and working out all the time.

[@PS2Damon]

so if you miss the 90 on the first PT in 6 months you retake it and get a 90 you dont gotta do it for a year?

[@AirmanNick]

Yes

[@impossiblesisters6509]

Are you allowed to have any advil or painkillers?

[@AirmanNick]

You can’t bring it but if you ask to go to the clinic there they will give you some

[@impossiblesisters6509]

@@AirmanNick Ok, thanks for letting me know!

[@alexkaplan7750]

to get honor guard, do you need at least a 90 on the PT test and the EOC? I know there's other things involved, but are those 2 of the requirements?

[@AirmanNick]

Those aren’t necessarily needed but without it it’s pretty hard to obtain, you also will have to be an element leader or high up role at bmt to get some extra points.

[@floydhalby6239]

Do they measure your waist on your final PT test at BMT. Acording to Air force ht/wt standards a person must have

[@AirmanNick]

Wow Nice, that’s where I went to the recruiting station at btw! And during Covid they won’t be measuring ur waist but usually if the Covid standard gets lifted they will be. Who’s your recruiter?

[@mollyparkinsons24]

They still arent measuring and they just give you the free 20 points, at least as of August 13th.

[@47Ray]

The 44 push ups and 60 sit-ups are those non stop ?

[@AirmanNick]

Pretty much if u want a break u have to hold yourself in a certain position!

[@griffintaylor4654]

Does anybody know if pull-ups are a requirement?

[@emilyjewels9840]

I leave October 6th, I'm worried about the push ups ):

[@AirmanNick]

Start doing push-ups everyday to make it easier on yourself, I had so many people in my flight go from nothing to passing by the end of bmt any practice you get in right now will be beneficial

[@carlospena1406]

So you don’t get to lift any weights? Is there a gym at BMT?

[@AirmanNick]

Carlos Pena no weights at bmt, at tech school you get to lift weights.

[@carlospena1406]

Airman Nick Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. You mentioned you went in as an E3 even though you finished college. Did you apply for the officer route or enlisted? Did they mention how long it would be before you could become an officer?

[@AirmanNick]

Carlos Pena I went straight to enlisted as an E3 because I only have an AA degree gonna finish off my bachelors degree here while in then maybe Pursue the officer path but not sure yet.

[@golfgaming13]

Did you graduate from keesler or Lackland?

[@AirmanNick]

Lackland

[@golfgaming13]

Airman Nick that’s cool. I’m hoping to dep in soon. I went to meps and did good except I was overweight. All I have to do now is lose 7 more lbs and go back to weigh. But of course the last few lbs are always the hardest. Anyways I love these videos they keep me motivated.

Had to go to medical and get put on a waiver to not run, but if you are on that to long you risk getting recycled.

What time does pt start?

[@AirmanNick]

Like 5 am

[@103193alf]

How about pull ups?

[@AirmanNick]

Pull-ups wasn’t apart of our test when we did it, just sit ups, run and pushups. If pull ups are in it it will not be a lot at all.

[@airmanflt3376]

If you train you pass. If you don't you fail. Very quite and simple to understand.

[@ImperfectKe]

Not trying to hate but there’s no way you did 5 miles in 26 minutes that’s a steady 5 minute mile pace

Y’all remember P.E in 6th grade? That’s what PT at bmt is.
